Deleting a sample is straightforward, but there are some non-trivial side effects to note. One significant issue is handling private alleles - if a sample is the only one carrying a particular allele, then we would need to delete that allele from the allele list. Some downstream tools will rely on the allele list reflecting real polymorphism in the overall dataset.
